The meeting

As Sonea had guessed, a meeting was ordered as soon as Lord Balkan had declared the battle over. So while the other novices and the non magical inhabitants of the guild spread themselves over the guild grounds Sonea had to wait before the guildhall until she was called in.
She had not waited long as she was called into the hall. Being there reminded her of the last two times she had been here. The first time: the hearing where Rothen gained her guardianship and the second time when she was joining the guild. It also reminded her of Lorlen's discovery that, Akkarin, the high lord of the guild had used Black Magic. It fuelled her fear that he would truth read her again; that she could do nothing to keep anything from them, to help Shona - whatever Shona wanted to do any way - she guessed that Shona wouldn't want to join the guild.
Sonea stood in front of the higher magicians and waited for the questions to begin.
"Sonea as you very well know we all heard your conversation with this friend of yours, Shona right?" Lorlen Started.
"Yes."
"Do you know if she learned to use magic from a magician outside the guild? You know that if not she has to learn to control her power."
Sonea hesitated. "I don't know if she learned it from another magician, but from her reaction I'd say no."
"Then why did you warn her so that she could run away from us? You know that we won't do anything to her. And you know what could happen to her if she stays out of the guild."
At this sentence Sonea grew cold. Akkarin! She hadn't thought about him. He could search Shona on his own to use his black magic on her.
"I...I wanted her to have time to think about what she wanted to do. I didn't think about the danger." Sonea said hesitating.
"So will you help us to find her, and tell us a bit about her? Maybe she can join the guild like you did."
Sonea considered this. She had to tell them about her, but she didn't believe that Shona would join the guild.
It was true that all dwellers hated the guild but Shona had hated the guild more than every other person Sonea knew, and she didn't think that could have changed over the time they hadn't seen each other.
"What do you want to know?" asked Sonea still reluctant.
"Tell us a bit of her. How you met her, her personality, anything that can help us to understand what kind of person she is."
"She's....well that's to difficult like this" and with that Sonea mentally called Shona.
"What's up Sonea?" was the instant answer. "Wait first answer me one question. Can they find me if I speak with you."
"As far as I know…No."
"Alright what's wrong?"
By this most magicians in the hall eyed Sonea sceptically.
"You saw what happened to me when I discovered my magic. What about yours can you control it?"
There was a long silence. "Yes I can control it. I'm not going to be a danger to anyone near me."
Sonea sighed. "The guild will want to know how you did it. And they don't allow anyone using magic outside of the guild. They could bind your magic or maybe you could join the guild."
This time the silence was even longer than the last time.
After 2 minutes without a reply the magicians began to be impatient and a murmuring started, until Lorlen asked Sonea the question all magicians wanted to know.
"What do you think is she doing? Will she run away?"
"No I think she is considering her options and how to get out of this." Sonea replied. "But as far as I can tell she won't join the guild."
That surprised the magicians. "What makes you think that?"
"I didn't like magicians as I came to the guild. But compared to Shona I was a mage-lover." Sonea told them a little bit smug.
"So she…" Lord Sarrin was stopped short in his sentence as Shonas mind voice was heard again.
"Ok I'll meet some of the magicians, tonight in the slums. But you have to come to Sonea and only if you tell me now which magicians will come. Take some you like and some that can make decisions but not more than 5."
Sonea, knowing Shona, quickly told her the first names that came into her mind that passed Shona's terms.
"Rothen, Lorlen, Balkan, Vinara…Akkarin."
Sonea really had wanted to leave Akkarin out, but if he was present she could warn Shona from him. Some times it was good that Cery had taught her a bit of the thieves' signs. She would sign Shona that he is dangerous so she would know what he looked like and not only a name.
"We'll meet there tonight at eleven o'clock" Shona showed Sonea a picture of a street in the slums. Those magicians that had searched the slums wondered how Sonea could tell which street Shona was referring to, because in their opinion the street looked exactly as many others in the slums. But Sonea had no such problems. "Ok"
"And don't dress like magicians or I won't be there. I can't let myself be seen with a bunch of magicians."
"Well it seems like this meeting is over." stated Lorlen clearly amused.. "Sonea you may go. Meet us here at ten o'clock so we can leave early."

Once Sonea had left, Lorlen addressed the other magicians. "All magicians that weren't called by Sonea may also leave. We will meet again tomorrow morning. Lord Rothen, come with us. We need to speak about the encounter with the girl."
